Five years ago I posted a comment on this same article, which you can read at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9291437 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9291437 I still stand by everything I said in that comment, and it has served me incredibly well on every project I've worked on since. At least in the cases where I followed my own advice :-\ tl;dr: if you're trying to build and ship something quickly, don't use any new technology. If you want to use your project as an excuse to learn a new technology, limit yourself to only one technology so you can better isolate issues when they crop up.
